FRAXINUS EXCELSIOR BUD EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Fraxinus Excelsior Bud Extract, derived from the European ash tree, is a botanical ingredient rich in phenolic acids, flavonoids, and coumarins. It is recognized for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, offering potential benefits for anti-aging and skin soothing formulations. Its proposed actions include combating free radical damage, supporting microcirculation, and inhibiting enzymes related to skin degradation and pigmentation.

Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Anti-aging Skin Soothing Decongestant Elastase Inhibitor Collagenase Inhibitor Tyrosinase Inhibitor (Skin Brightening) Vascular Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions by leveraging its high concentration of bioactive compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and coumarins, which are potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. It acts as a free radical scavenger, neutralizing oxidative stress. Furthermore, it demonstrates inhibitory activities against key enzymes involved in skin health: tyrosinase (reducing melanin production for even tone), elastase (preserving skin elasticity), and collagenase (protecting collagen integrity). The extract also shows promise in supporting vascular health, contributing to decongestant effects and potentially mitigating visible redness.
